Calling All Green Building Researchers!

Still time to apply for USGBC’s Research to Practice Program

The Center for Green Schools at USGBC is still accepting applications for their Research to Practice Program (R2P2) until June 30th, 2011. R2P2 seeks to conduct and collect research on the built environment, create educational tools, and to share the information gathered with the building community.R2P2 teams will engage in hands-on green building research of their campus and/or community.
R2P2 interdisciplinary research teams from colleges or universities should be made up of at least one faculty representative, at least one student, and potentially other campus staff.
